Anyone seen one yet? I tried four bank branches in Brisbane city yesterday and none of them had any yet.
I got one in the mail from Auspost shop.
It's the next gen one in the pack. It's DF20
A friend told me they saw one in change on the Sunshine Coast.
There are 2 different lots of signatures and years for the new $100 notes.
The ones for 2019 have 1900 serial numbers and are Lowe / Gaetjens signature and the 2020 2020 serial numbers have Lowe / Kennedy signatures
Very surprised to see the Lowe Gaetjens ones but I shouldn't be because the Reserve Bank has been printing money gangbusters to buy government debt, and we all know how much debt the government has racked up in recent months.
When the economy catches up a loaf of bread will be a hundred bucks.
Latest CAB said they weren't pushed out to branches like all the other new notes so that explains their slow appearance.
Found my first one in Perth this week.
I received $100 AA20 Lowe Kennedy notes today from the bank. Consecutive and crisp notes
Should be plenty of those around but a nice pick up none the less. The EA last prefix will be worth more. Well certainly the 2019 version anyway. Selling for ridiculous money on fleabag.

Not yet, Ralf, but it will be. :)
I got two 2019 $100 notes today - almost perfect condition.
2019 $100 notes wow people are paying $400 for them
I personally think that's way overpriced really not too many collectors buy them
Yeah not sure how many got printed but I thought there would be enough to go around.

2019 ones... a lot given 10 million per letter combination.
$100
AA 19 – EA 19
0000001
0188115
Lowe/Gaetjens
2020 significantly more I imagine.
Okay that looks like just shy of 10 million notes.
$100 notes don't generally come to much grief either.
As I read that there are 188115 per serial combination.
They go to K as far as I can see. AA - AK, BA - BK etc. 11 sets of 188115 times 4 plus EA. So about 8395175 or 839 million dollars or there abouts.
If you set a figure of 100,000 notes or less as being an indication of rarity (and hence a premium to face value) then there has been very few Australian Banknote issues over the last 27 years that meet the criteria.
$50 GB12 99,000, $100 EL11 70,000, $100 EL10 58,000, $50 MD08 50,000, $5 KC05 90,000, $50 JC98 40,000, and $5 DN97 10,000
Of course some other issues have had their rarity increased by strange occurrences $50 VG95, $20 DA95, $50 JC97 $100 CF98 all of which had much more than 100,000 printed.
With the change to 10,000,000 notes per series commencing from 2016 onwards with the $5 notes, the chances of limited issues for first and last prefixes has reduced markedly, only caused by possible signature changes.
One can only speculate as to why NPA changed from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000.

The first $50 run in 1995 got to VG - maybe they thought that 20 years later they might run out of prefixes?

Got to have loads of capacity to print money to buy debt.
As we all know most money is worthless, the only value being the generally accepted promise to pay. I'm still an advocate for having money with a value.
Pigs, tins of tuna or sardines, silver and gold to a lesser extent.
You should make use of every opportunity to use your cash so they don't remove it entirely.

There were approximately 380,000 VG95 $50 notes printed, which is a significant number in the wild. One possible reason for the difficulty of finding good quality VG95 notes might be that this was the note of choice for dispensing from ATMs in 1995 - maybe coincidentally the VG95 bundles went to high output ATMs such as large shopping centres.
The same used to occur with the old 5 pound note from the 1950's. Most people were paid with 5 pound notes which would be need to be broken, whereas payment in 10 pound notes was quite rare. So good quality 5 pound notes are extremely rare.

I got to look through some $100 notes during the week and saw some 2020 issues, as well as some 2019 issues (both common).
I also found an AV 96.
Interesting that there was at least one from each year except 1998.
